Comparing two surgical methods for treating perforated peptic ulcers

SUTURE-CLOSURE OMENTOPEXY VERSUS OMENTOPEXY ALONE IN REPAIR OF PERFORATED PEPTIC ULCER

Not applicable Interventional Sohag University · NCT06550856

This study is testing whether a new surgical method for fixing perforated peptic ulcers works better than the traditional method by looking at complication rates in adults who need surgery.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of modified-Graham's omentopexy (MGO) compared to traditional Graham's omentopexy (GO) in treating perforated duodenal ulcers. The primary focus is to determine if the additional step of primary closure in MGO leads to better surgical outcomes. Researchers will compare complication rates between the two surgical techniques to assess any direct benefits of MGO over GO. The study will involve adult patients diagnosed with perforated peptic ulcers who are fit for surgery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients of both sexes diagnosed with perforated peptic ulcers who are fit for surgical intervention.

Not a fit: Patients with bleeding ulcers or other associated pathologies requiring surgical intervention may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complication rates for patients with perforated peptic ulcers.

How similar studies have performed: While similar surgical approaches have been explored, the specific comparison of MGO versus GO in this context is relatively novel.
